Nokia 5200 + iSync

July 13th, 2008 Posted in Hacks, Mac

Finally I decided to Sync my Nokia 5200 with my Mac’s Calendar and Address Book software, the problem is that according to Nokia’s web site, there is no support for this device.

Being aware that this phone is basically a Series 60 device, I searched the web and find an easy hack, on how to get things working. Credits go to http://laiwebdejuan.50webs.com.

Here how it goes:

You will need to fake your phone as a 6131 to the iSync software:

  • Open a Finder window, then right clink on iSync’s package on the Applications folder and select “Show Package Contents“;
  • Then go to the folder: Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/Plugins;
  • Right click on the Nokia-6131.phoneplugin file and select “Show Package Contents”;
  • Then go to the folder: Contents/Resources and edit the file MetaClasses.plist with TextEdit;
  • Search and replace for all “6131″ occurrences for “5200″ and that is it.

He also pointed that you can change the icon for the device by putting a .tiff file on that folder: com.nokia.5200.tiff.

Thanks Juan for that tip!
